Casting and Splinting at Northern Sports Physiotherapy Clinic

What is casting and splinting?

Casting and splinting are the common non-surgical treatment options for bone and soft tissue injuries (muscles, tendons, ligaments).

What does casting or splinting do?

When you break a bone, your doctor first aligns the fractured pieces together in the appropriate position, and then your therapist applies a cast or a splint in order to hold the bones in place while your fracture heals.
